I know RR days are worth 4:20 (hahaha). I believe the first paycheck is a "pay it forward check" and covers 1/2 of what company expects you to work. Then the 15th check is a "clean up" check which covers the previous months other 1/2, any overage above min guarantee, and per diem.

I just checked my online account and the kind folks at HQ did not put anything in mine?? I, like you, should have a minimum amount for my 2 days of hard work.
